A Morel Dilemma: Bonus — Remembering poisonous mushrooms (GOTTA PICCEM)
Description
In this bonus episode, Dr. Rob Bassett from Philadelphia Poison Control walks us through one of the most useful teaching tools in mushroom toxicology: GOTTA PICCEM.
This mnemonic organizes toxic mushrooms by their clinical syndromes and, most importantly, by the timing of symptom onset. That timing can be one of the biggest clues toxicologists use to decide whether a mushroom exposure is likely to be mild, dangerous, or potentially life-threatening.
Dr. Bassett is a gifted educator, and in this episode he breaks down the major mushroom toxins in a way that is practical, memorable, and useful for anyone who might someday need to recognize a serious mushroom poisoning.
